Hazelwood, T. (author), Jefferson, A.D. (author), Lark, R.J. (author)Research has been carried out with the aim of better understanding the relevant properties of materials to be used in a new self-healing cementitious composite material system. The system consists of shape memory polymer tendons embedded within a cementitious matrix, upon heat activation these tendons undergo a shrinkage process which closes any...conference paper 2013

Gardner, D. (author), Herbert, D. (author), Jayaprakash, M. (author), Jefferson, A. (author)Recent developments in self-healing technology inspired by natural biological materials have the potential to dramatically improve the performance and durability of cementitious materials. These self-healing cementitious materials comprise artificial flow networks embedded within the cementitious matrix that upon damage release healing agents...conference paper 2013
